In 2020 and 2021, there is a strong growth in loan turnover, both greater than the debt collection turnover by 2,137 billion VND and 1,967 billion VND. The reason for the strong growth in loan turnover is that in the period of 2020-2021, the Hanoi Branch of the Social Policy Bank received capital entrusted by the city, districts and towns to increase support for loans to solve employment for workers affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Debt forgiveness turnover has decreased gradually over the years, from 170 million VND in 2018 to 20 million VND, an average decrease of 35% over the years.

The strong growth in outstanding loans of the job creation loan program mainly comes from the capital entrusted by the city, district and county to the Branch for implementation.


Loans for job creation increased. In addition, due to new policy changes on increasing loan levels, simpler procedures, making it easier for people to access capital. This shows that job creation is an important goal in the development plan of Hanoi, when the poverty rate decreases, the economic structure shifts from agriculture to industry and services, leading to many people being unemployed. Therefore, the city prioritizes resources to implement loans for job creation, building new rural areas, and ensuring social security in the capital.

Unlike commercial banks, where lending is done directly between the bank and the customer, at the Social Policy Bank, some lending programs entrust some work contents to social organizations.

This is the right direction, helping to transfer preferential loan capital to the right beneficiaries quickly and effectively; at the same time, mobilizing the strength of the community and the whole society to help the poor and other policy subjects.

In terms of capital structure, the annual additional balance of the National Fund for Unemployment Assistance is still low. The growth in outstanding loans for Unemployment Assistance from central capital sources mainly comes from capital mobilization from organizations and individuals through savings deposits at banks; from 419 billion VND in 2018 to 2,602 billion VND in 2021, an increase of 2,183 billion VND, accounting for 33.4% of the total capital for unemployment assistance. The proportion of central capital sources is increasing, increasing by an average of 27% per year. This shows that the Branch has increased its autonomy in mobilized capital, gradually reducing the proportion of capital transferred by the central government and capital entrusted by localities.

Local capital for GQVL loans accounts for a large proportion of total outstanding loans, growing by an average of 30% per year, reaching VND 5,178 billion in 2021, accounting for 66.6% of total GQVL loans.
